Dressed as cannon fodder, I went crazy, and the villain pampered me until I was numb.

Chapter 5-Why is Mr. Shang here?

She paused in her steps and narrowed her eyes, feeling that things were not simple.

"Courage, of course it was given by Liang Jingru." She shrugged, not caring about Director Wu's sarcasm, she just wanted to go home and lie down quickly.

This sentence made the whole audience laugh. Xia Kou was about to leave, but was stopped by the assistant director just now.

"And I heard that you also have a mental illness? I think that's right. The irrational answer you just gave can only be said by someone with a mental disorder."

"We will definitely not be able to use artists with hidden mental problems. If one day they go crazy on the set and kill someone, we will lose more than we gain. And since your reputation is so bad, I suggest you withdraw from the industry temporarily and go to a mental hospital to treat your brain. Let’s talk about it later.” Director Wu crossed his legs and his attitude gradually became arrogant.

As soon as these words came out, the audience was filled with sighs and discussions.

The teachers at the judges' table also cast disdainful glances.

Xia Kou knew that the time had come for him to take the blame for the original person.

Since she has to inherit so many scapegoats and is ridiculed as a mental patient, how many times can she go crazy while wearing the vest of a mental patient?
She pursed her lips and put on a sweet smile, full of friendliness, "Okay, it's good for me to have my brain treated, but before that I want Director Wu to recommend some brain experts to me. I believe Wu The guide must be familiar with it.”

"What do you mean?"

"Director Wu's immature cerebellum should have been consulted by several experts, right? I think you are more familiar with brain medicine. Don't be stingy. Please recommend it to me."

The assistant director, who was being irritated in public, suddenly changed his face, slapped the table and stood up, pointed at Xia Kou's nose and was about to curse, "What nonsense are you talking about? Everyone has seen it, Xia Kou is a lunatic, why don't you call her Drive people out!”

"It's not wrong to say that your cerebellum is not fully developed. To judge whether an artist can play a role is not based on acting skills but on these messy gossips? If you have some gossips, you will spread rumors. Which eye did you see that I am mentally ill? Or did any of your eyes see me cutting people?" She spread her hands and smashed a broken jar without fear, "Aren't these all the thoughts of your own immature cerebellum, Director Wu?"

Her little mouth kept talking like a machine gun, which stunned the teachers on the judges' table.

Wu Dao was so angry that his face turned black. Seeing that others did not move, he rushed onto the stage and tried to drag people off.

Just as he was about to stand up, a cold male voice suddenly came from the safety exit on the side of the theater stage.

"If you really choose the cast based on external rumors, I don't think there is any need for the Universal Group to invest in this crappy show."

A low and cold male voice came from the unlit darkness at the side of the stage.

Suddenly, the noisy discussion in the theater stopped.

Inexplicably fell into a dead silence.

In the dead silence, only the sound of a certain wooden object hitting the ground was left, echoing in the huge theater every now and then, dull and ethereal, getting closer and louder.

The quiet atmosphere was extremely eerie.

Xia Kou stood in the center of the stage and couldn't help but turn her head to look.

I saw a tall and graceful figure slowly appearing from the lower side, holding a silver snake-headed scepter.

The man was wearing a black haute couture suit with a lazy posture. Although the light was dim, it could not hide his decadent and pale face, as well as his delicate and upright facial features like a sculpture.

No matter how weak he looked, his appearance was still aggressively beautiful, like a mandala flower blooming in hell, decadent and monstrous.

And those fox eyes that turned around and finally met his own, Xia Kou recognized the person's identity immediately.

He nodded slightly to her in a gentlemanly manner, which surprised her.When the judges saw the person coming, they stood up in fright.

The assistant director's face, which was originally black with anger, immediately broke out into a smile, which became even more ugly, "Mr. Shang, why are you here in person?"

Shang Qi didn't answer him, he staggered away from the body that came to greet him, walked step by step to the middle and back of the auditorium with a cane and sat down.

"There is a seat reserved for you in front, look..."

"I still say what I said, if your production team's casting is at this level, I will contact the company to withdraw funding." He raised his eyes coldly, with a faint smile on his lips, "You also pack your things and get out."

Director Wu was instantly frightened into a cold sweat by these plain words.

"Yes, we will definitely consider it carefully when it comes to casting! Naturally, we must put the professional standards of the artists first!"

He lazily leaned back into the sofa chair and returned his gaze to the stage.

The second half was carried out in an orderly manner with the arrival of Shang Qi, and the entire atmosphere was hundreds of times more serious than before.

After Xia Kou's audition ended, she wanted to go home directly, but was stopped.

"Miss Xia, Mr. Shang wants to meet you." The person coming was Uncle Wang, Shang Qi's old driver for more than ten years.

Xia Kou guessed that Shang Qi would invite her to meet, and under the leadership of Lao Wang, she came to the auditorium at the back of the theater.

The surrounding lights were dim, and she looked in the direction that Lao Wang pointed. His whole body was sunk in the chair, and a shadow covered half of his handsome face. She could only vaguely see the pale smile hanging on the corners of his lips.

"Come and sit." He looked over with his frightening fox eyes and patted the empty seat next to him.

For some reason, Xia Kou was intimidated when she saw him. She stopped her sword-selling behavior just now, turned into a good baby and sat next to him, and whispered: "Crab..."

In front of the big villain, you have to be cowardly!
"We are so strangers to each other." He slowly stretched out his hand, and his slender hand looked even thinner and whiter in the dim light. "We haven't seen each other for so many years, but you still haven't changed."

She subconsciously ducked back, letting his hand fall, and paused in mid-air for nearly a second before taking it back.

Then a very low chuckle was heard.

"Sorry, I thought you remembered me." His tone was mixed with a bit of helpless disappointment, and his warm and magnetic voice trembled slightly.

"I..." She raised her eyes and met the colorful smile in his eyes that was as broken as the stars, and hesitated in her heart.

In the original book, Shang Qi is a childhood friend who has been completely forgotten by his original self.But even though they are partners, the two of them have only been together for less than ten days.

Yuan Shen and Shang Qi were in an orphanage when they were children. At that time, Shang Qi was often bullied by other children in the orphanage because he was thin and timid. Yuan Shen had helped him a few times.

At that time, he was not called by this name, so the original person gave him a nickname, which only the two of them knew.

Not long after that, he was adopted by a wealthy family, and the two had no contact with each other since then.

But what everyone doesn't know is that the few short days he spent with his original self in the orphanage are the only warm memories left in Shang Qi's life so far.

The merchant adopted him because he had type P blood, which is as precious and rare as his own son. After that, he began the darkest moment of his life.
